Bobby Jo Valentine is an award-winning singer/songwriter who grew up along the windswept coastline of Northern California in a family that attended a Baptist Church. The held “strict lines and sharp edges,” he says. While in many ways it was a nurturing environment, it was also very judgmental about issues of sexuality. This created internal conflicts as Bobby Jo came to realize he is a gay man. He has emerged into a larger, kinder, more welcoming faith … one that is excited to learn, open to growth, and focused on love.

Now he writes poetic, searching songs that connect deeply with people from all walks of life. His stories are sometimes funny, sometimes moving, and always deeply resonant. Singer/songwriter Dar Williams says, “Bobby Jo has both the spirit and songs to bring us back to believing. Whatever our faith, he has the humor, compassion, words, and music to help us believe again.”

He is a past recipient of the Songwriter of the Year award at the West Coast Songwriter’s Association, as wells as several other awards. His music has been featured in commercials, feature films, wedding ceremonies, and his greatest honor – YouTube videos with puppies. His songs have been sung by choruses around the country, including the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus and the Turtle Creek Chorale.

Stephen Schwartz, creator of the musicals Godspell and Wicked, says Bobby Jo writes “Catchy songs with good tunes and intelligent, thoughtful lyrics in the tradition of Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, and Bruce Hornsby.”

Bobby currently hails from Portland, Oregon, and is ecstatic any time he can discuss the big questions, challenge the easy answers, and inspire people to move closer to love.

A recent audience member told Bobby Jo, “You’re like a mix of John Prine and Mr. Rogers.” Bobby Jo was happy to receive this compliment.

This concert is sponsored by Pride Place of Belonging.
